¹ tn Verses 17-19 are repeated in Ezek 33:7-9.

² tn Heb “the righteous man.”

³ tn Heb “from your hand(s).” This refers to their power over the people.

⁴ tn The Hebrew verb is feminine plural, indicating that it is the false prophetesses who are addressed here.

⁵ sn Traditionally this has been understood as a reference to the biblical Daniel, though he was still quite young when Ezekiel prophesied. One wonders if he had developed a reputation as an intercessor by this point. For this reason some prefer to see a reference to a ruler named Danel, known in Canaanite legend for his justice and wisdom. In this case all three of the individuals named would be non-Israelites, however the Ugaritic Danel is not known to have qualities of faith in the Lord that would place him in the company of the other men. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:447-50.

⁶ tn Heb “from his way to turn from it.”

⁷ tn Heb “and he does not turn from his way.”
